Abstract (from CDS):

We present the results obtained from a detailed analysis of a deep Chandra observation of the bright FRII radio galaxy 3C 444 in Abell 3847 cluster. A pair of huge X-ray cavities are detected along the north and south directions from the centre of 3C 444. X-ray and radio images of the cluster reveal peculiar positioning of the cavities and radio bubbles. The radio lobes and X-ray cavities are apparently not spatially coincident and exhibit offsets by ∼61 and 77 kpc from each other along the north and south directions, respectively. Radial temperature and density profiles reveal the presence of a cool core in the cluster. Imaging and spectral studies showed the removal of substantial amount of matter from the core of the cluster by the radio jets. A detailed analysis of the temperature and density profiles showed the presence of a rarely detected elliptical shock in the cluster. Detection of inflating cavities at an average distance of ∼55 kpc from the centre implies that the central engine feeds a remarkable amount of radio power (∼6.3 x 1044 erg s–1) into the intra-cluster medium over ∼108 yr, the estimated age of cavity. The cooling luminosity of the cluster was estimated to be ∼8.30 x 1043 erg s–1 , which confirms that the AGN power is sufficient to quench the cooling. Ratios of mass accretion rate to Eddington and Bondi rates were estimated to be ∼0.08 and 3.5 x 104, respectively. This indicates that the black hole in the core of the cluster accretes matter through chaotic cold accretion.
